[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-2The utility model embodiment provides a telescopic escalator, including handrail 1, a plurality of pedal 2, a plurality of pull rod 3 and drive unit 5. Among them, handrail 1 is composed of two parallel support poles, the distance between support pole can be set according to the need of use, a plurality of pedal 2 are sequentially arranged between two support poles along the up-down direction, every pedal 2 has oppositely arranged first connecting end 21 and second connecting end 22, first connecting end 21 is rotatably installed on handrail 1, a plurality of pull rod 3 are respectively installed between adjacent pedal 2, and every pull rod 3 is connected between the first connecting end 21 of a pedal 2 and the second connecting end 22 of another pedal 2. And the end of pedal 2 away from handrail 1 is provided with linkage rod 4, and the second connecting end 22 of every pedal 2 is rotatably installed on linkage rod 4, when the operator controls drive unit 5 to carry out angle adjustment to telescopic escalator, any pedal 2 except the uppermost pedal 2 moves to the direction away from the uppermost pedal under the drive of drive unit 5, at this time, handrail 1 is inclined outward under the drive of pedal 2, since pedal 2 is all installed on handrail 1, the movement of any pedal 2 will drive handrail 1 to swing, and further drive the corresponding movement of other pedal 2 connected therewith, to realize that telescopic escalator opens or is taken up.

[0030] Specifically, the end of the first connecting end of every pedal 2 is provided with a first pivot 6, the first pivot 6 is rotatably penetrated in the handrail 1 and the end of a pull rod 3, the end of the second connecting end of every pedal 2 is provided with a second pivot 7, the second pivot 7 is rotatably penetrated in the end of a pull rod 3 and the linkage rod 4. Every pull rod 3 has opposite first end and second end, the first end is adjacent to the first connecting end of a pedal 2 and is rotatably sleeved on the first pivot 6, and the second end is adjacent to the second connecting end of another pedal 2 and is rotatably sleeved on the second pivot 7, so that the pull rod 3 and the first connecting end of pedal 2 all rotate with the first pivot 6 as the center.

[0031] In the embodiment, the first pivot 6 and the second pivot 7 can be bolts, the bolt includes a threaded segment and a smooth rod segment, the threaded segment is threadedly connected with the pedal 2, and the pull rod 3 and the linkage rod 4 are sleeved on the smooth rod segment. The first pivot 6 and the second pivot 7 can also be a pin shaft, but are not limited thereto.

[0032] In order to maintain the horizontal state of the pedal 2 during the entire telescopic process, in the embodiment, the pull rod 3 and the linkage rod 4 are both telescopic rods, and the structures of the two can be adjustable rods composed of a plurality of sleeves, which can change the length according to the distance between the pedals 2.

[0033] In practical applications, the position of the uppermost step 2 can be fixed and kept horizontal, when the telescopic ladder is extended to the limit position, the pull rod 3 is at the longest limit length, at this time the pull rod 3 is locked by the locking structure, it can be regarded as a rigid rod, which can provide a pulling force for the adjacent step 2 to offset the inclination caused by gravity or lateral force, and keep it horizontal. The linkage rod 4 also plays an important supporting role, when the telescopic ladder is retracted, the linkage rod 4 is at the shortest limit length, it can provide support for the adjacent step 2, when the distance between the steps 2 increases, the linkage rod 4 can be stretched and adjusted to the appropriate length.

[0034] Preferably, when the telescopic ladder is retracted, the projections of the plurality of steps 2 in the vertical direction coincide, the entire telescopic ladder is in a vertical state, so that the ladder can be more easily stored when not in use, especially suitable for cranes or other equipment that need to operate in limited space, improving the space utilization efficiency. At the same time, the overlap of the plurality of steps 2 in the vertical direction can improve the strength and rigidity of the overall structure, reduce the possibility of shaking or deformation in the retracted state, thereby improving the safety and reliability during use.

[0035] Further, the tread of each step 2 is provided with an anti-skid structure, which can be a surface protruding structure or an anti-skid pad, the design of the anti-skid structure increases the friction between the step 2 and the bottom of the operator's shoes, so that the operator can stand more stably when walking and standing, and the grip is enhanced. Whether in fast movement or in the case of needing to stand firmly, accidental sliding can be effectively prevented. Especially in rainy, snowy or other slippery conditions, the risk of the operator slipping on the step 2 can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the overall safety.

[0036] The utility model also provides an engineering vehicle, including car body 9, with car body 9 connects fixed plate 8 and above telescopic ladder, the uppermost step 2 of telescopic ladder is installed on fixed plate 8. Figure 3 As shown, the fixed plate 8 not only provides a fixed point for the telescopic ladder, but also supports the entire platform. By connecting the upper step 2 of the telescopic ladder to the fixed plate 8, the operator can safely go up and down at a high place, ensuring the stability of the step 2 during use, and avoiding inclination or deformation caused by gravity or operating load.

[0037] Further, the driving unit 5 is installed on the vehicle body 9, which includes a hydraulic cylinder, the telescopic rod of which is connected with any one of the steps 2 except the uppermost step 2. When the hydraulic cylinder drives the telescopic ladder to open, the handrails 1 are set to be inclined relative to the vehicle body 9, forming a certain angle, so as to make it more convenient for the user to climb; when the hydraulic cylinder drives the telescopic ladder to be retracted, the handrails 1 are set to be parallel to the vehicle body 9. Although it is more difficult to climb at this time, the design can save the unfolding space, so that the telescopic ladder is suitable for narrow occasions, such as tunnels, mountain roads and other environments, and improves the adaptability of the engineering vehicle in limited space.

[0038] It should be noted that each of the embodiments in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments, and the same and similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0039] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
